US EditionMultiple Candidates Still in the Mix in Bengals’ Right Guard Battle
Injuries to key players Lucas Patrick and Cordell Volson have complicated the Bengals' efforts to finalize their starting right guard for Week 1, coach Zac Taylor said.
- As training camp reaches its end, Bengals coach Zac Taylor says he has no timeline for naming a Week 1 starting right guard, with Patrick, Ford, and Rivers still competing.
- With Cordell Volson sidelined by surgery, Lucas Patrick and Cody Ford remain day to day, while Jalen Rivers takes first-team reps ahead of Saturday's game against Indianapolis Colts.
- The eight-year veteran has played in 112 NFL games while Patrick, a career backup, aims to uplift the guard group; Patrick describes training camp as up-and-down, and Ford remains in the right guard mix after recent tackle work.
- Coach Taylor left open the possibility of adding an additional offensive lineman, noting injuries have complicated plans and staff is still working through options.
- The Bengals drafted Jalen Rivers in the fifth round of April's NFL draft to be a swing tackle, and he's showing versatility by playing guard; this will be tested in Saturday's final preseason game vs. Indianapolis.
